What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

I just found this page a couple days ago, and I'm hooked! I've been wanting to take classes in cake decorating, but I've been putting it off. Now I have some serious motivation: to never make a cake that could end up on here! Lol. I will definitely be a daily reader starting now!

I really can't watch that part of the movie. WAY too depressing. Oddly, I can see bad stuff happen to people, but not to animals. Probably the reason I'm still banned from watching Bambi, Dumbo, or Ol' Yellar. Oh, and I'm 29. :)

@C Lysager - So now, instead of being re-scarred for life remembering Artax, I get to be scarred for life AGAIN by watching this guy with a dead skunk on his head singing a song that for my entire life I was under the impression was sung by a woman.

Okay...While I agree that this is a massive fail, I think it is more of a color fail than anything else. I think the wreckerator used that God-awful transparent blue gel to make the lake, and /failed/ to realize that on top of brown icing it would look...well, like tar. There's even a blue bleed around the perimeter of the lake.Even so, you'd think a person would step back, look at the cake, see a tar pit, and fix it. But if every cake decorator could do that, this site would not exist! :)

Bear in mind, it's a MALE lion; so, technically, should the elephant escape the sticky depths, he might have just enough time to make his getaway before the female lions show up, b*tching about how they always get called just as they're getting in the bath *nods firmly* Ah... or is that genies?

I'm sorry, it shouldn't - but this is totally the post I go to when I need to laugh really really bad. This one, and the post with the tiny lamb riding out Bruce Willis style. They crack me up.Thank you for brightening my dreary day!
